That would bump it up immediately. Otherwise, I love that the pictures have been included. **Developer response:** That was previously available as a separate app but is no longer supported. For newer devices, please consider one of our USA Manual apps that includes the Declaration of Independence along with other historical documents like the Federalist Papers, Articles of Confederation, landmark Supreme Court Cases, and much more. ### 2/5 — Freedom of speech? *2026-06-06, version 1.8.2* Looks like the update left freedom of speech out of the first amendment. Maybe it’s just my phone, but maybe they should proofread it. ### 3/5 — no copy option *2025-06-11, version 1.7* can not copy the text. otherwise pretty good, notes on amendments are interesting. ### 3/5 — Navigation issues *2023-12-23* I am a blind user. I love the app for its information but as a blind user, I find it difficult to navigate within the amendments to find particular sections so that I can use them in a political discussion. ### 2/5 — Don't pay for it *2023-05-29* While I like the simple, text only design, I paid $1.99 to be able to have a search feature. Unfortunately, the search is a 100% failure. It won't even find known words, such as "person." Very disappointed! ### 2/5 — Search upgrade doesn’t work! *2023-02-27* I just paid for the upgrade and when I search for “arms” nothing comes up! Piece of junk. I want my $2 back! ### 3/5 — This app is more Liberal propoganda *2022-09-30, version 1.6* This app was written by a bleeding heart liberal who hates our country. Its full of liberal ideas like the separation of church and state, protections for people accused of crimes, and freedom for the press! Further they added the words “well regulated” to the second amendment! We all know the Constitution doesn’t say anything about regulations. ### 2/5 — Copy & Paste Removed *2022-06-20* I’ve had this app a long time and found it to be a good way to review the Constitution and use quotes from it in legal discussions to make cases. Unfortunately, they have removed the ability to copy and paste from it, so it has suddenly lost most of its usefulness. I can still look up information but when I find it, I now have to go on the internet to copy the text. That’s duplicate work. So, I’m going to remove this app and get one that allows copy & paste functions. ### 4/5 — Good enough *2021-06-03* All the information and text is there but the GUI is meh. Also hasn’t been updated to fit newer iphone screen resolutions ### 2/5 — OK but sloppy in some parts *2020-11-13* I’ve been using the free version of this app for years. I recently read and found very interesting the list of amendments not ratified by states. The app gets sloppy through poor use of quotation marks in some places - unacceptable! I would like more notes that provide context to the language chosen, compromises for ratification, and legal challenges and theoretical arguments that have arisen from the amendments. I find myself using other sources in conjunction with this app. ### 2/5 — Won’t restore purchase *2019-07-22, version 1.5.8* Going to the website support page is pointless. After entering info in the fields and hitting send NOTHING HAPPENS Just like the Restore Purchase button. Nonfunctional. ### 2/5 — I had 3 ads within the first 5 minutes. You can’t terminate them early. Missing some docs *2019-07-07* I was very disappointed about what was listed and what was not. This could have been the single best ap out there. The images and layout are excellent. If the developer could have set the hard core politics to the side and focused on the true and correct documents (all of them) this could have been the “go to app” for teachers, students, media and politicians and all US patriots alike. I would have much more be willing to pay a reasonable fee like $1-$2 dollars. Something that any student could easily afford. This app if politically neutral has the potential to be the best app (and best sold) out there. Stick to the facts (all of them) and this would be a real winner. ### 2/5 — Please update this *2019-03-18* I love the convenience, but please do a little more for this app. I find it to be quite embarrassing to see an iOS 12 app, that has not even been updated to fit the screen size of the iPhone 6 and beyond. Why? I don't really understand. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A Good App Turned Bad *2026-04-30* I’ve had this app on my phone for many years now and it was a regular reference and most useful when I could screen shot and share actual language. Now that the pages scroll left to right and not up and down I can no longer achieve this and the app is no value to me. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-08-16, version 1.7* 1776 will commence again, kill your local government supporters ### 1/5 — This is Not the Constitution *2025-05-29* What you have on your app is not the constitution it’s your interpretation. In the constitution this is what is stated in the actual document “The President must be a natural-born U.S. citizen, at least 35 years old, and a resident of the U.S. for at least 14 years.” Stating or a US Citizen is not what the constitution actually says. Take your liberal App and shove it. **Developer response:** Kindly consult with the United States National Archives to see that the app's content is consistent with the official version. ### 1/5 — Can’t copy or paste *2024-12-18, version 1.7* Useless ### 1/5 — Search Function *2022-08-17, version 1.6* Search function does not work. Type in “republican” and it does not show up. ### 1/5 — Search function doesn’t work *2022-07-14, version 1.6* I paid the 1.99 to search & it doesn’t work. I do not recommend ### 1/5 — what is this sorcery *2019-10-25, version 1.5.8* this app is garbo are you kidding me? Theres ads every two seconds is this a literal joke? i dont get the part with the ads like bruh chill out. constitution? more like butthole. that joke doesnt work, but neither does this app. GARBO ### 1/5 — best version out there as long as you don’t buy it *2019-06-01* I relied on this app for years, loved it. When I tried the in-app purchase option the app crashed. The purchase went through, but the app never worked again. Opens and closes no matter what I try, support is nonexistent. ### 1/5 — Fix *2018-04-07, version 1.5.6* I can’t read it now because don’t work with the new IOS. Fix it soon. ### 1/5 — Watch Out !! *2015-11-21* Ads all over the place ..... unless you pay them another $1.99 It's the old trick of seemingly giving you a free app ... but then extorting more money from you. C'mon !!! it's just some pages of words!! Not that complicated or requiring much skill to put together. Shameless money grab. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Text formatting is broken *2026-07-01* This is a great app. I’ve used it for ages and I’m happy with it. And when I reported a small problem with the formatting they responded with a fix immediately. Awesome service. **Developer response:** Thank you for writing — we replaced the text rendering system to address performance issues responsible for layout inconsistencies some users reported in v1.8.2. If you update and still see anything unexpected, please reach out directly and we will investigate. ### 5/5 — Required Reading *2026-04-11* How can I share this fantastic app with the White House? They seem to have lost their copy. ### 5/5 — Good read *2025-07-30* Every single person in America should have this app on their phone and study what our forefathers wrote for us to keep sacred. Americans should have the bill of rights memorized completely and correctly. ### 5/5 — Indispensable reference--Full text of US Constitution *2024-01-23* Provides plain original text of all Articles and Amendments in a simply organized interface, plus ratification histories. Easier to carry around than my old worn pocket paperback copy! ### 5/5 — Ignore the trolls *2023-10-13* This app is good. Some of the other reviews are borderline nonsensical, or possibly just outdated—I haven't gotten a single ad and everything works fine. (EDIT: I will say I have the free version, so I don't know about the search function.) This app can't be liberal propaganda because everyone knows liberals don't believe in the Constitution anymore. As proof that they don't, that same oaf clearly has no idea what "well regulated" meant in the 1700s, or that "SHALL NOT" is the actual operative phrase in the 2nd Amendment. ### 5/5 — Looks like it's going to be a great reference! *2019-09-29* Has Hillary winning Florida by 497% in the 2016 election. Talk about stuffing the ballot box! I have had the Constitution app for some time and it's been great. ### 5/5 — Must have for ALL Americans!! *2019-03-06, version 1.5.8* Know your rights and exercise them. The first 10 Amendments are vital! 😀😀 ### 5/5 — Best Constitution App EVER *2018-12-11, version 1.5.8* I just wanted to say that this app saved my life!!! ### 5/5 — Wonderful!! *2015-06-30* Very easy and fast app for quick referencing. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-01-28* Something we should all read and very convenient to have as a reference on your phone. Well designed app. Thank you! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
